An insightful crow comes along to tear up the map

Now open your eyes and take a look at the truth (Yeah!)

There's nothing to lose, so let's GO!!!

We are Fighting Dreamers aiming high

Fighting Dreamers don't care what people think about them

Fighting Dreamers follow what they believe

Oli Oli Oli Oh! Just go my way

Right here right now (Bang) Hit it straight like a line drive!

Right here right now (Burn) We're gonna do it and do our best!

Right here right now (Bang) Hit it straight like a line drive!

Sasuke…

My, my arm!

Are you okay, Lord Orochimaru?

Please take this medicine quickly.

Oh, my…

Just as I get back, I have to clean the room.

Please make sure you to take your medicine.

I don't need that kind of lip service.

It's medicine that I prescribed.

The pain should subside at least slightly.

The pain on this arm that seems to burn…

I never thought that it cause this much suffering.

Sarutobi…known as Third Hokage. lt's his last curse, after all.

Enough of the talking…

More importantly, has that individual been found?

Yes… She seems to be at a place called Tanzaku Town.

Tanzaku Town…

Is that so…?

But the opponent is one of the Sannin, the Legendary Three Ninjas.

It won’t be that simple.

Good medicine tends to taste bitter.

Here.

It’s the same one… But this is the trick?

You’re the type who was yelled at at the academy

for not having concentration, right?

That doesn’t have anything to do with me now.

Look at this paper.

Uh?

I’ve seen it.

Fine, then.

Look at it again.

Hmm?

So what is this?

It’s not something that I need to explain in length,

but when you first looked at this blank piece of paper,

you just glanced at the whole thing, correct?

Probably.

Then where do you look on this one?

Most likely the point in the middle?

When a human being looks at just a blank piece of paper,

he doesn’t know where to look, so the eyes wander.

But if you put even a single point on it,

the mind focuses there…

This is concentrating at a single point and as you focus your mind,

you become spiritually stable and you are able to extract unexpected power.

Huh?

When you opened a hole on the rubber ball,

you must have been concentrating desperately

to fill up the Chakra in the palm of your hand.

Yeah, yeah.

When you concentrate, power emerges.

But without a target, it is difficult to concentrate.

That’s why we have this…

Listen Naruto, from now on,

when you store up the Chakra you build in your right hand,

try to store it up by concentrating on that mark.

Concentrate…

All right, I’ll try it!

Focal Point: The Mark of the Leaf

Concentrate!

Darn it. It’s not supposed to be like this.

It has to break like “pang.”

Concentrate!

Hello… I’d like to make a little inquiry.

Dang it.

Concentrate.

Concentrate!

No good.

Dang it. What does it mean to concentrate?!

Damn you, Sarutobi!

All right then…

I’m going again to gather some information.

What…? But you just came.

I don’t have any time to waste.

Hey, hey…!

Isn’t there going to be even a little soulful game of catch

between the master and pupil?

You scoundrel.

Strike!

Here, the game of catch is over.

See you later.

Humph… I’ll forget about that Pervy Sage and work hard by myself.

That’s the only way, Naruto…

You have to do this training alone.

You have the ability to approach the Fourth Hokage’s level…

Grasp it by yourself!

Hmm… Never seen her.

If that’s the case…

Sorry to bother you.

I know the person.

As well as where she is right now.

I’ll buy you a drink.

There’s no need. I was able to win a tidy sum…

Thanks to that lady.

Yeah…you are indeed the Legendary Sitting Duck.

She lost again, huh.

Her losses started to pile up…

So she was talking about changing her location.

Where to?

One of the Sannin, Lady Tsunade, is staying at Tanzaku Town over there.

Then this arm can finally…

Even if it’s good medicine,

you won’t get away with just a bitter taste with that person.

It’s fine.

Seven, seven, seven…

Seven, seven, seven…

Seven, seven, seven…

Here it comes!

Congratulations to the customer!

Fever has started on machine number 44.

Now, please keep on getting it out like a flood.

Lady Tsunade, a rare thing does happen once in while.

A 3-7 for me?

Oh wow, lady.

Yeah, what a great work.

Wish I could be favored by good fortune too.

– Oh, here it comes again! – Here it comes again!

Yay…it’s “fever” again!

A person like me pulls a big hit like this…

I have a bad premonition.

I also have some knowledge regarding Lady Tsunade…

I did use to be part of the Medical Corps, after all.

She was the first person to propose what is now an accepted practice

of assigning one medical specialist to a small squad of four.

This was a very revolutionary- idea…

A small combat unit that doesn’t even have emergency medical skills,

what would happen to them in a battlefield is clearer than seeing fire.

Countless experiences in war

simply became knowledge to equip themselves with.

Many who were sacrificed led to the creation of that style.

A person understands the nature of things for the first time

after losing them.

And the thing created by one of the legendary Sannin,

who is known as the medical specialist

is that sacrifice.

Not working…

I got to concentrate even more.

Concentrate, concentrate.

Concentrate, concentrate.

Concentrate!

Concentrate…

Concentrate on one point.

Strike!

Strike!

That stupid perve’s face floats up in my head

and I can’t even concentrate.

Oh boy…

Some gal somewhere is talking about me again.

Pinball Games

Wait for me, Lady Tsunade!

What’s the matter?

Your winning this much is like a miracle…

But you don’t look pleased at all.

This town.

Huh?

I get a bad premonition.

We’re going to hurry up and leave.

But this is a tourist resort…

We should take our time and go see the famous castle and all.

Then we’re going to hurry up and see it so we can leave.

But…Lady Tsunade!

Lord Orochimaru!

Let’s get this business over with.

Even if we have to use a slightly rough method.

I got to do it.

Ouch!

Ouch… It hurts so much, I can’t even build up my Chakra…

He might be reaching his limit soon.

Just a bit…just a bit more rest.

Hey!

You guys, we’re in class right now.

You…fools!

You guys have no concentration at all…!

This is not the way to become fine Ninja.

How can we stay still at a table, right, Akamaru?

I’m hungry.

Sensei, if it’s a scolding, do it quickly.

What the--?! You, you guys…

From now, we will have an after-school lesson

to teach you guys more concentration!

– What?! – What?!

What’s this?

You guys are going to do from now

what the predecessors of the Leaf Village

used to perform every day as a concentration method!

It is training to build up Chakra

by concentrating your entire energy on the leaf on your forehead.

It’s an ancient way of learning

how not to become distracted from anything else

by concentrating on a single point, the leaf.

The one who hones his concentration is truly a great Ninja…

This is the origin of the Leaf Symbol on the headband.

That sounds like a lie.

Aren’t you making that story up to force us to try harder?

I’m not making this up! lt’s a true story.

Anyhow, can you really become a great Ninja

by just polishing your concentration?

At any rate, a great Ninja is a guy who’s strong.

Hey, you have a point.

This stuff…

Bye, bye Sensei!

Hey, hey, you guys wait a minute.

– We won’t wait! – We don't have time for that!

Hey! You misfits!

This is the same thing.

I should have paid more attention to what Iruka Sensei was saying…

I’m so stupid.

But nothing will start if I just keep on regretting.

All right, I’m going to master this!

Concentrate, concentrate…

Concentrate!

Wow! Tanzaku Castle sure does have a commanding presence!

It’s worth being designated as the cultural heritage.

Don’t dally…

We’re going to hurry up and leave this town.

Lady Tsunade, please look more carefully…

It costs nothing to view.

Lady Tsunade?

What is this chill?

Now!

What a kid…

Raising the density in Chakra to the point that it burns the palm.

He never ceases to amaze me.

It broke.

Good! The second step seems to be complete.

Hurry… The third step.

That will come later.

We’ll now go meet Tsunade.

That’s…

Orochimaru.

I found you.

A cycle of hardship, right?

Inside, we were crying, right?

But the one thing we won't give up is the dream we've chosen, right?

It's a secondary role,

a role in the shadows

But in reaching for that dream,

let us stay centered, let us stay true

Over and over, we hung on without giving up

Over and over, we kept coming back up

Over and over, we believed and dreamed

Over and over, we've seen fools

I can master the third step while walking? Give me a break!

Fool! If we don't hurry it up, we'll lose Tsunade!

Besides, she's short-tempered and impatient!

Where are we heading?

If she's here in this town, we'll just look for her from somewhere high up.

– So we'll climb up a castle. – Castle?!

– Can't you see over there?! – Which way is "over there"?

I'm saying…

Oh! What the--?!
